Mom and Dad,
This week was a lot of fun, and yes,
it was my last full week in Mainz. On Thursday I will be headed to.....Wetzlar! Mainz is the city of
Johannes Gutenberg and Wetzlar is where Goethe was born, or so I am told, fun cultural
side note for you :) I`ll be with Elder Domine (not totally sure about the
spelling of his name) who is from Northern California, Walnut area. He was with
Elder Rowe (from the Rancho Santa Margarita) in the MTC, so just 6 weeks less
than me on his mission. I´m excited for new fun experiences and good things in
a new area. I will miss this ward and the people here SO much though. ahh..
Yeah, they are so good, supportive, loving, just awesome.
To answer you´re questions, the
families who came last Sunday (2 ago now) just came, nice surprise for
missionaries and members alike. We have appointments with members often enough,
but as far as investigators we don´t have anyone right now who we consistently
teach. On Saturday though the missionaries in our area- my companion and I, the
sisters and the Langen Elders- had a street display. As a team we distributed
close to 20 books of Mormon and talked to a lot of friendly people. Yesterday
Elder Cloward and I found someone with whom we will be soon meeting. Well, he
and his new companion.
Since it was fast and
testimony meeting at church I also shared my testimony, love for the ward,
and gratitude for my time spent with them. A huge foundation of my testimony is
the happiness that the gospel brings to my life. Reading the scriptures,
prayer, and doing my best to live according to what I know. I love sharing that
and being a missionary, loving people and doing my best to do God´s work.
Thank you as well for the update or
trips and family fun, even though I don´t respond to all the little details I
do appreciate it :)
Love
Hayden
